Does Saudi Arabia Dislike the United States?

The way a country's citizens feel about another country may or may not reflect the official views of its government. So, what about Saudi Arabia? Does Saudi Arabia dislike the United States? The governments have had a back-and-forth relationship over the years, but the Saudi government generally ends up saying the alliance is strong. However, in 2009, the Saudi government complicated matters by including the letters "USA" on a list of "lewd" letter combinations that wouldl be banned from license plates. Saudi Arabia has never explained why the letters "USA" were deemed to be inappropriate. According to the Saudi newspaper Al Watan, over 90,000 personalized license plates with banned letter combinations would need to be replaced.
